Tumbling Class

Here are tons of pictures from our tumbling class that we are taking. We look forward to it all week.
At the end of class we get to play around on the blow up slide.
Here's Jude working on his backhandsprings. Look at those strong arms.

Fall Fun

While Mom and Dad were in Florida, we enjoyed some lovely fall days.
A few of the days were spent playing at Grandpa and Grandma's house. And of course Aunt Tracy came over to play with us.
Of course we have to earn our keep. Life is not all fun and games, you know.



After fun in Udall, we headed off to Aunt Lisa's house for the rest of the week. (Hopefully, some pictures of our time there will follow soon.)

Dominic's First Movie

Aunt Tracy and Momma took me to my very first movie!
Can you guess what it was?
That's right! I saw Toy Story in 3D!


I even got to pick out my very own treat from the candy counter.

I chose M&Ms and I had them all eaten almost before the previews were over.

And since it was in 3-D we all had to wear these crazy glasses. We had a great time and I think we should do that again sometime.

All About Dominic...

Here I am enjoying a lovely fall day. It was perfect for taking some time out to contemplate the meaning of life.
Here I am modeling my Halloween costume, a dragon.

No, my brother didn't stick me in here. It is one of my many ways to stall going to bed at night.

Labor Day Camping

It was a perfect weekend for camping. And it was Jude's first ever camping trip.

The sun did finally peak out and let us play on the SeaDoo with Erica.

We even braved the water with Mom and Aunt Lisa



Momma took me for a spin, although Daddy goes much faster!

We enjoyed our afternoon snack on the beach.

Erica and Tractor fruit snacks...it doesn't get any better than this.

Hanging out in the water.

Jude preferred hanging out on the beach and throwing in rocks.

Yummy, fruit snacks!

It did get a little chilly at night, but we were prepared. Who cares what you look like when you are camping

Lunchtime at the campsite.

We had so much fun playing with Valerie and Erica!



Throwing rocks in the water.

Yum, there is nothing like breakfast over a campfire.
We were at one with nature for 3 days! I even caught this locust! We can't wait to camp again!

New Friends

We are lucky to have found some new friends and hope to have many more playdates to come.
Poor Katie is the lone girl, but she can hold her own in the sandbox.
We had lots of fun with Ethan. We hope we can get into some trouble together soon!


Pool Party

We had a family pool party to celebrate our Great Grandma's birthday.
Who would've thought that it would be too cool to swim in August, but we did brave it and stick our feet in.
The best part was the popcorn machine!! Perfect for our popcorn lovin family.


We had fun playing with Cousin Helen and her friend.
